Not all that political, but it could obviously go that way. Nice visual aid.

Coincidentally, this is also about how much total currency is in circulation in the US.:

So it would be as simple as everyone is the US emptying their pockets into a big pile, and the debt problem would be over.

Mind boggling. I would settle for the 43 million dollar couch. The best part of that page are the Thomas Jefferson quotes:

"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government." - Thomas Jefferson

“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” - Thomas Jefferson

Why do we forget history so quickly?

To forget something would have required that something be learned in the first place, and sadly most Americans today are STUPID!

I learned from the History Channel last night that the human body carries up to 100 trillion bacteria cells. Most of them are good bacteria, thank the evolution gods.
